It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.”
No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true.
This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

One last musical share for the evening. I first encountered Sara Niemietz when she did a cover with Postmodern Jukebox. It's been a minute since I've tracked what she or PMJ are up to, but it appears they're back Sara's pipes are as majestic as ever.

In last night's D&D session, my character had what felt to me a defining moment in her journey. The image of that moment has lingered in my head and I'm seriously considering getting it commissioned.

Seconded.
I would rather die than reject the truth. I say this knowing full well that this is a possibility.

I feel like posting some music tonight. This is my "scored a goal" theme in Rocket League, but awhile back I started to listen to the entire song. The song itself is romantic, but lately I've seen something aspirational and hopeful embedded in there, too.

Today I wrote about our white supremacist political movement's perverse insistence that "we don't have to apologize for being white anymore."
Conservatives have been apologizing, apparently. Did you know? I had no idea. So I asked, and here's what I found.

Apologies For Being White
How supremacists convert responsibility into blame to avoid paying natural costs and to make everyone else pay unnatural ones.

At least one selling point of the US was that it isn’t Russia, but I guess that no longer applies.

i think that people really underestimate reality that

2) the administration is a constantly churning system with factions that rise and fall contextually

If this image had a headline, I think it would be “Are literate and attractive women allowed to be weird alien peacocks? The answer might surprise you.”
And I mean the answer is obviously yes, c’mon headline writers.
